I don't believe the UCC "owns" or "operates" its seminaries. I believe they are affiliated with the UCC. For example Andover Newton, on the UCC list of schools, is both UCC and American Baptist. Neither denomination owns the seminary. United in Twin Cities according to its description has a "ecumenical" charter and has a partnership both with the UCC and the UMC. There are a lot of schools, theological or otherwise, that are affiliated with a mainline denomination but are not owned or operated by the denomination. If Dave finds out that Union Presbyterian is actually owned by the PCUSA I will be surprised.
